Tides in Clallam Bay
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:58 am 6.4 ft · coef. 94
- ▼ Low tide 8:24 am 4.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:20 pm 9.1 ft · coef. 92
- ▼ Next low tide 10:05 pm -1.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 10 min to low tide at 10:05 pm.
Tide coefficient 94 for the 3:58 am high tide and 92 for the 2:20 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.7 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 24 (10.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-3.2 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 96, 10.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 32, 5.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Sekiu station (NOAA), 1.8 mi from Clallam Bay. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Clallam Bay
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.8 ft with a period of 16 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 51.3 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Clallam Bay
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:51–7:51 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.65 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
